If you just enabled file search, then it does need to take some time to build up its index.
Plex also will generate constant disk activity when it is building its media library (and that continues while it is gathering metadata from the internet).
But once those processes complete, they shouldn't be generating constant disk activity.
Thank for your reply StephenB I enabled File Search 5 days ago. The Plex was installed one week ago and the media library was generated short after that. I have now enabled Spin Down all time and after 5 minutes of inactivity. Paal

The system overview page will tell you if file search is indexing or not.
The plex web interface should give you some clues on whether it is finished gathering metadata - in particular there is a notification are on the bottom right of the browser windows that might be showing what titles it is looking at. I'd expect it to have finished within a week. When did the volume finish syncing?
